As a scholar of both Chinese Studies and Canadian Literature with a special interest in Indigenous Literature, I see how culture and literature are complementary. As a member of the Chinese diaspora in Canada, each time I go back to my home country, I see China integrating more and more with the world, economically and culturally, as expressed in the slogan from China Central Television (CCTV): “The World Needs China and China Needs the World.” By the same token, Chinese culture and literature also crave for the attention of the world. This attention will make for a better understanding of China, her people, and her culture. This special issue of quint contains themes and topics of Chinese culture and literature from different genres: research essays, literary translations, and creative writing. The issue starts with Qianting Ke’s “The Rewriting and Adapting of The Vagina Monologues in China,” a case study of using theatre as a platform for feminist advocacy. Ke demonstrates that monologue, dialogue, and “double monologue” are needed to tell women’s stories on the stage from different perspectives. Following Ke’s piece is a literary essay on Zijian Chi’s novel, The Last Quarter of the Moon, which depicts the life of the Chinese Evenki, the last Chinese nomadic hunting minority in Northeast China.
